Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 19 January 2020

January 19, 2020 by B42 Site News 4 Comments

Genre television returns in a big way, with a new status quo in a new universe after the Crisis has Destroyed Concepts we thought were well entrenched.  Batwoman has to contend with her new reality while Supergirl deals with Lex as a good guy, Black Lightning adjusts to how the Red Wave has affected his town, the Legends are celebrities, and Arrow gives us a backdoor pilot for what they hope will be a replacement show.  The Doctor also gives us a visit with Nikola Tesla, the Midwives are trapped in a lift, Riverdale plays football, The Good Doctor joins the X-Men, but the real big highlights for the week are the return of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Star Trek: Picard at the end of the week.  I am glad I caught up on everything so that I can get behind again as all of these shows suck me in!

Superman and Lois is greenlit as a series

January 14, 2020 by Superman/Smallville 2 Comments

Before we get the reviews of the final two chapter of CW’s DC Crisis, news has come out that Superman and Lois was picked up as a series to spin off of Supergirl.  It will follow the two title characters as they explore the adventures of parenthood with their newborn.  They may be joined by Green Arrow and the Canaries, who gets a backdoor pilot in the back half of Arrow‘s final season.

Are you recovered from your holidays?  Did you spend the last couple of weeks agonizing about the fate of the CW’s shows?  Why did we have to wait so long to find out if everything exists or not?  Good news, your Delay Ceases!  Arrow brings back the show before wrapping up on Legends.  We also have some medical missives with Midwives, Good Doctor, and of course, Doctor Who1.

January 5, 2020 by Doctor Who, Star Trek 1 Comment

You did see the first episode of Doctor Who, right?  The Doctor has saved us, and brought a Midwife back so we have something to watch.  Star Trek: Discovery also gives us a short trek, but this is another light week for you to catch up before that Dastardly Crisis comes for us next week.

December 29, 2019 by B42 Site News

As the year runs out of steam, so do the studios.  There is only one hope we have for new genre television, and she is all the hope you need:  The Doctor.  Doctor Who returns with a two-parter, with part one on New Year’s Day, and part two on the following Sunday.

The holidays mean everything slows down, including the shows to watch.  His Dark Materials and The Mandalorian are the only regular shows this week, but Lost in Space‘s second season drops, and if you’re a fan of Holiday Specials, Call The Midwife and Mrs. Brown’s Boys has you covered.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 15 December 2019

December 15, 2019 by His Dark Materials, Marvel's Runaways, Star Wars, Watchmen

Today is my 12th wedding anniversary, and all of the shows, even the ones not wiped out by a Crisis, have decided to celebrate and take the week off.  Except Watchmen, who seem to be falling into Crisis after all.  His Dark Materials gets extra dark, with children in fights to the death.  The Mandalorian doesn’t give us anything to go on, but each episode has been better than a good chunk of the movies, so it doesn’t really have to.  Looking ahead, if you are planning for the next week, while you are on a stake-out for the fat man who is breaking and entering, you’ve got two more episodes of these shows an a season of Lost in Space.  I will be using the time to catch up on Runaways from last week, first.
